About a week ago, I left my 05 HSE in Seattle for 10 days as I flew off to Maui. When I came back, the battery was dead. I had AAA come down and they confirmed that the batt was good but somehow, it got drained. Ran the engine for a bit and everything seems to be fine.
Today, I tried to play the CDs in my player and nothing happened. No error messages etc. I hit eject, and the screen says "ejecting" but nothing happens. All other buttons wont work. The radio and aux work and other functions as well. And no, there is no "gears" sounds coming from the CD player. And nothing happens when I turn off an don the car either.
I'm thinking I need to reset this thing. Or has someone have a better solution?
Ive searched the forums and no threads match my problem.
Thanks! Z

Hard reset maybe?

The link below is interesting as it somewhat addresses your CD problem.

I used "Hard Reset" as the search term and quite a few threads appear. For what it is worth, a Hard Reset is not the solution but sounds like a software update by the dealer is. The problem seems to arise after a dead battery change out.

So I finally took my LR into the stealership to try and use my extended warranty. My maintenance advisor said that EasyCare is going to assess the situation. My warranty states "CD Player malfuction" so I don't see what needs to be assessed. The advisor told me that EasyCare is probably going to try and find me a refurbished one.. instead of shelling out the $1500 for a new one.. We'll see what happens.
